CR7 dribbling drill

This drill is great for getting lots of touches in a short amount of time, and is used by C. Ronaldo, Leo Messi and Luis Nani. Go as fast you can while keeping the ball under control, use the sole, inside and the laces of the foot. To setup the exercise put out about twenty cones or shoes for that matter, randomly in a tight area, dribble in and out of them use using a variety of 1v1 moves and different parts of the foot with speed. For this drill you can even juggle in and out of the cones to work more on your air control, but always stay on the move. What I think is the best way to use this drill is to dribble through the minefield of cones for one minute or one-hundred touches, then take a touch out then bend the ball back-post. A different variation is to dribble with the tennis ball, size 1 and then the regular ball for 200 to 400 touches each. Down below is Ronaldo doing the exercise.


 


Do this exercise & you can dribble like Messi.

Coach Andrew's 1000 Wall Work Plan

         WALL PASSING 1000 Touches

  • pass with the inside of the foot, alternating each time, do this for 100 touches
  •  do the same thing, but this time pass with your laces for 100 touches
  • now get to the wall closer, and switch from inside, inside to laces, laces work on quick feet - everything is 100 touches or passes
  • now this time trap it with the sole of your foot and bend or curve with the outside of your other boot (100 touches)
  • for this next one, you're going to quickly drag the ball with your left foot to your right foot then quickly pass almost in a hop motion (100 touches)
  • this time catch it on the sole of your foot and quickly do the l-shape move that is in the footwork section, then after you do that motion quickly pass the ball (100 touches)
  • now for a challenge - once you pass the ball, receive the ball by performing  the elastic, then scissor with the same foot, then repeat the elastico with the other foot - video down below (100 touches)
  • now for the last 300 touches do whatever, just some freestyle
